This book provides a comprehensive exploration of morpho-hydro-sediment interactive processes to explain channel planform dynamics, integrating advanced quantitative techniques and assessing flood risks, including model-based mitigation strategies. It delves into the temporal evolution of riverscape dynamics driven by autogenic and allogenic factors, while evaluating sediment generation within catchments. Additionally, it features comparative case studies of riverscapes across diverse clim...
